Selecting a Font

Escape Sequence:	ESC	DLE	f	n
Hexadecimal:	1B	10	66	n

This command allows you to access type styles not specifically supported by an emulation.

This command selects the font designated by the variable n, where n can range from 0 through 254 decimal as follows:

Font	ID No.

Courier	0
Prestige Elite	1
OCR A	3
OCR B	4
Gothic	5
Presentor	6
PostNet	7

Note: Using any value other than the valid font ID number for n, causes the printer to accept and ignore the command, and cause a

FONT NOT AVAILABLE ERROR.

Selecting a Font’s HMI

Escape sequence: ESC DLE H

Hexadecimal: 1B 10 48

This command enables you to access natural pitches of a font that may not be specifically supported by an emulation. The command sets horizontal motion index (HMI) to the currently selected font’s HMI.

The command cancels the double-width print mode, but does not cancel the oversize-character (scalable characters) command. This command resets the Epson variable spacing to zero.
